#321: Eating-Disorder Healing and the Importance of Community Support with Akiera Gilbert

Project HEAL CEO Akiera Gilbert joins us to discuss her relationship with food growing up, why she didn’t realize she had an eating disorder, how she finally began to find healing, the importance of community in disordered-eating recovery, what to do if community feels tricky to you, and more. Akiera Gilbert (she/her), CEO of Project HEAL, reminds us that eating disorders are more than personal struggles—they're a critical public health issue. Project HEAL is recognized as the leading national non-profit focused on creating equitable access to eating disorder care. In 2023 alone, they provided access to over $5 million worth of free services, including treatment placement, clinical assessments, cash assistance, insurance navigation, and meal support. Previously, Akiera founded Body Reborn to foster healing spaces for people of color who struggle with food and body image. Driven by her belief that healing is our collective right, she is actively transforming mental healthcare to be more affirming, accessible, and affordable.

Therapists and authors Judith Matz and Amy Pershing join us to discuss our new collaboration, <a href= "https://christyharrison.com/emotional-eating-workbook">The Emotional Eating, Chronic Dieting, Binge Eating & Body Image Workbook</a>; why the typical diet-culture response to emotional eating is unhelpful, and what to do instead; how to know if you’re a chronic dieter (as opposed to just a “healthy eater”); the role of trauma in binge eating; why high body weight isn’t a sign that you’ve suffered trauma; and lots more. Judith Matz, LCSW, ACSW, is a therapist, nationally recognized speaker, and consultant on the topics of diet culture, binge eating, emotional eating, body image, and weight stigma. She is co-author of the new <a href= "https://christyharrison.com/emotional-eating-workbook">Emotional Eating, Chronic Dieting, Binge Eating & Body Image Workbook</a>, as well as The Diet Survivor’s Handbook, Beyond a Shadow of a Diet, The Making Peace with Food Card Deck, The Body Positivity Card Deck, and author of Amanda’s Big Dream. Judith offers continuing education and training for professionals through PESI as well as customized presentations for a variety of companies and organizations. Judith’s work has been featured in the media including NPR, The New York Times, Good Housekeeping and Psychotherapy Networker. She has a private practice via telehealth in Illinois where she meets with clients seeking to heal their relationship with food and their bodies. Find her at <a href= "http://www.judithmatz.com/">judithmatz.com</a> and on Instagram @judmatz. Amy is an internationally known leader in the development of treatment paradigms for BED, and one of the first clinicians to specialize in BED treatment. Based on 35 years of clinical experience, Amy has pioneered an approach to BED recovery that is strengths-based and trauma informed, incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and body-based techniques to heal the deeper issues that drive binge behaviors. Her approach integrates a non-diet body autonomy philosophy, helping clients create lasting change with food and body image. She is the author of the book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Binge-Eating-Disorder-Journey-Recovery/dp/1138236934?crid=ZDI6KFNBEH24&keywords=Binge+Eating+Disorder%3A+The+Journey+to+Recovery+and+Beyond&qid=1706823250&sprefix=binge+eating+disorder+the+journey+to+recovery+and+beyond%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=foopsy-20&linkId=dfaabd585d975f1f52c2eaeec137b701&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl"> Binge Eating Disorder: The Journey to Recovery and Beyond</a> (Taylor and Francis, 2018) and <a href= "https://christyharrison.com/emotional-eating-workbook">The Emotional Eating, Chronic Dieting, Binge Eating & Body Image Workbook</a>, with co-authors Judith Matz and Christy Harrison (PESI Publishing, 2024).
